A Message from the Principal:
September 8, 2024
Dear Weller Families:
Welcome to September, which in every elementary school, means welcome to the LOST & FOUND! We already have a growing collection of sweaters and jackets. Please take a minute to put your child's name on a tag inside their jackets, sweaters, hoodies, etc. We can connect lost items to a child if we have a first and last name.
Friday, September 13? Nothing scary about that! It is Riverside High School's Homecoming! We will have a contingent of Weller students and families walking in the parade. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Remember to call the Absentee Line if your child is going to be absent: 571-252-2361. Or you can put the absence in ParentVue. The office must be notified.
If you are interested in being a Room Parent or Classroom Volunteer, please contact your child's teacher. The teacher will send you the interest form.
Educationally yours,
Julia Burton, Principal
We offer many extra items in our cafeteria. Students have options to purchase chips, cookies, extra sides, and ice cream. Parents have options as well. If you are do NOT want your child to purchase specific items, you must email the cafeteria manager - Teresa Fernandez and specifically state the restrictions for your children.
Parents that are picking their children up at the end of the day in our car line we need your help. We are speeding up our process and need your continued support helping your child know their numbers. Please remain in your car and help build your child build their independence. Let them open their own door and get in your car. We are also using NUMBERS ONLY to call students to their car. Please help your child remember their number provided to you on your bright green placard. Thanks for your continued support!
Our Family Liaison, Gladys Palomino, is here to assist families and students who experience difficulties throughout the year. Our goal is to help families meet their needs by offering an extensive list of resources both at school and in the community. Please click here for more information.
If you are interested in volunteering at Weller, please complete the volunteer screening application attached to this email and contact your child's teacher about your interest. Return the signed volunteer form to the office. Attention: Mr. Dolansky.
We are about to re launch our "Watchdog Parents" at the end of September. What is this wonderful program you ask? This is an opportunity for parents to become role models for our students. You will have the opportunity to work with classes, students, and your children's classroom throughout the day. You pick the full day or half day to commit your time working with the Wild Cats. Look for an updated announcement in an upcoming newsletter when we restart this wonderful program.
If you should need to change your child's dismissal plans, we request that you do NOT email your child's classroom teacher. We request that ALL CHANGES IN DISMISSAL be CALLED into our school's office. Please call 571-252-2360 with any last minute changes. These calls should be made BEFORE 1:30pm so that we can communicate these changes to the correct individuals.
We want to thank the following local businesses for partnering with Steuart Weller throughout the year!

- University Painters: Preparing and Sealing the mural
- Nando's: Lunch for the Teachers & Staff
